Isn't there somewhere in that syslinux.cfg that specifies where init is at?

Perhaps a silly thing, but do you have support for the right kind of
binaries built in (i.e.. a.out / ELF)?  I discovered that not having the
right versions of libc included with a dynamically linked init also caused
problems that seem like something else, but if all you've gotta change is
the kernel, that's prolly not your problem...
